Working with Type Options

Photoshop lets you control text through the type options, located on the Options bar. To access the Type options you must have one of Photoshop's Type tools selected. It is not necessary to change type options after typing. If you know what you're after, you can set the options, and then commence typing. However, if the need arises to change the text, Photoshop comes to the rescue with a host of type options, such as font family, size, color, justification, even high-end type processing controls like leading and kerning.
